Miami Marlins @ Washington Nationals Preview

The Miami Marlins (65-72) head to Nationals Park with some momentum, sitting third in the NL East. They've won their last two games, including a convincing 5-1 victory over the New York Mets, and hold a 5-5 record over their last 10 outings. The Marlins' offense has been effective, ranking sixth in batting average at .251 and sixth in doubles with 230. Key contributors like Agustin Ramirez, who homered and drove in two runs in their last game, and consistent hitters Jakob Marsee (.352 BA) and Heriberto Hernández (.273 BA) have been instrumental in their recent success. Lake Bachar (5-1, 3.39 ERA) is the probable starting pitcher for the Marlins.

On the other side, the Washington Nationals (53-83) are looking to break an eight-game losing streak, having gone 2-8 in their last 10 games. They are currently fifth in the division. Despite a 7-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in their last outing, the Nationals showed some offensive spark with Brady House going 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs. Offensively, Washington ranks 11th in batting average (.243) and 12th in doubles (223). CJ Abrams leads the team with a .267 average and 17 home runs, and their speed on the base paths is a factor, ranking seventh in the league with 112 stolen bases. Andrew Alvarez, recently called up from Triple-A Rochester, is set to start for the Nationals. Alvarez has shown promise in Triple-A, going 3-0 with a 2.37 ERA and 39 strikeouts over his last six outings. However, the Nationals' pitching staff has struggled significantly, posting a league-worst 6.31 ERA in August.

Pick: Miami Marlins Moneyline

widget-odds-mlb-su-12171-MIA-WSH

The Miami Marlins present a compelling value pick on the moneyline at +105. While the Washington Nationals are playing at home, their recent performance has been concerning, marked by an eight-game losing streak and a dismal 2-8 record in their last 10 games. The Nationals' pitching staff has been particularly vulnerable, recording a league-worst 6.31 ERA in August. In contrast, the Marlins are entering this game with positive momentum, having won their last two contests and showing improved offensive execution. As underdogs, the Marlins have demonstrated their capability this season, winning 47.8% of their games when listed as such. Given the Marlins' current form and the Nationals' significant struggles, particularly on the mound, Miami is well-positioned to secure a victory on the road.

Top Player Prop Picks

Agustin Ramirez (Miami Marlins) Over 0.5 Hits

Agustin Ramirez has been a standout performer for the Miami Marlins, playing a pivotal role in their recent offensive surge. In their last game, he contributed significantly with a home run and two RBIs, showcasing his ability to deliver timely hits. As a young talent who has stepped up for the Marlins, Ramirez is expected to continue his consistent hitting against a Nationals pitching staff that has struggled immensely, posting a league-worst 6.31 ERA in August. The odds of -245 for him to record over 0.5 hits reflect strong confidence in this outcome.

C.J. Abrams (Washington Nationals) Over 0.5 Hits

C.J. Abrams is a central figure in the Washington Nationals' offense, leading the team with a .267 batting average and 17 home runs this season. Despite the Nationals' overall team struggles, Abrams has maintained a consistent hitting presence. Facing a Marlins team that, while playing well, still presents opportunities for opposing hitters, Abrams' proven ability to get on base makes the over 0.5 hits a strong proposition. The odds of -235 indicate a high probability that he will record at least one hit in this matchup.

Eric Wagaman (Miami Marlins) Over 0.5 Hits

Eric Wagaman is listed as a probable starter for the Miami Marlins and is not currently on the injury list. While detailed head-to-head statistics against the Nationals' probable starter Andrew Alvarez are not available, the Marlins' offense has shown recent signs of life, scoring five runs in their last game. Given the Nationals' significant pitching woes, particularly their high team ERA in August, Wagaman, as a likely participant in the lineup, has a favorable opportunity to contribute at least one hit. The odds of -205 for him to achieve over 0.5 hits suggest a good chance for this prop to cash.
